A warehouse access point is dark. The technician needs the switch's remaining PoE budget and whether that access port is actually supplying power. Which display answers both?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A dark access point may be a radio problem or a power problem, and the switch already knows about the power. You look at show power for the remaining PoE budget and for whether that port is supplying power. The interface status, the fan and temperature display, or the power display on a different switch does not answer both questions.
Full Explanation
The switch can display how much of its PoE budget remains and whether a given port is delivering power. show power answers both for this dark access point. show interface can show that the port is down. It does not report the remaining budget, so it answers only part of the question. show environment reports fans and temperature. A hot chassis is a different fault, and it does not say whether this port is supplying power. The power display on a different switch is the tempting twin because it is the right command on the wrong box. It is not the budget feeding this access point. Exam caveat: a port can be administratively up and still deliver no power when the budget is already committed. Link state and power state are separate lines. Operational check: read show power on this switch, confirm whether the access-point port is drawing power, compare the remaining budget with what the access point requires, and recheck the access point after the port is actually supplying power. Record the reading before the change and the reading after it so the next shift can see the symptom actually moved.
